I don't see much mention of these two bands much on DiS. Both featuring the incedible Kristin Hersh. This woman has put out nearly 20 albums in a career spanning as many years. An incredibly prolific achievment.

I was disgusted the other day to find that my local HMV store didn't have a single Throwing Muses CD in stock (about 11 were released!).

Her new Band 50 Foot Wave have just released their debut album and was wonder if any likes/dislikes it. Or if anyone likes the Muses or her Solo works.

I personally am a fan of all her works, and think the new 50 Foot Wave material is incredible!

I'm a big kristin fan too. I found all the throwing muses albums on vinyl at a carboot sale for £2 each last year, that was a happy day... I like Hunkpapa and University best I think. Saw her solo at Glastonbury a few years ago, which was great... certain solo songs are amazing - Gazebo Tree is my favourite, from Strange Angels, used to play that at acoustic nights in my indie days years ago.

In 1988 i saw the Muses at Newcastle upon Tyne (supported by the Pixies?!?!?!?). They were touring the House Tornado album. They blew me away (so did the Pixies). I've got every single one of the Muses albums. My fave albums are probably House Tornado & Limbo.

If you haven't already done so, go out and buy the new 50 Foot Wave album. I've had it on promo for a month now, and i still can't stop playing it. Was a shock at first, but its a winner. great new 'harder' style!

I'v seen her solo and it was a magical moment ( apart for some idiots who keep asking for Throwing Muses songs all gig ).
The 50 foot wave album is great.
Her best album since.................................
